Democratic innovations in contested and constrained contexts
The Standing Group on Democratic Innovation invites submissions for the 2026 General Assembly of the European Consortium for Political Research in Krakow, Poland.
In 2026, the General Assembly will take an in-depth look at some of the difficult discussions that lie ahead.
- How can democratic innovation work in a shrinking civil society space and in the face of legal or administrative restrictions?
- What happens when trust and consensus are most difficult to achieve?
- How does participation work in fragile, hybrid and conflict-ridden environments?
- What do we think of rapid digital transformations?
